STUDIES ON MYO-INOSITOL

Role of myo-inositol

myo-Inositol metabolism in plants

The multifunctional position supplied by myo-inositol is emerging as a central feature in plant biochemistry and physiology. In this critique, attention is drawn to metabolic aspects and current assessment is made of manifold ways in which myo-inositol and its metabolic products impact growth and development. The fact that a unique enzyme, common to all eukaryotic organisms where such assessmen...

2-Benzyl-myo-inositol monohydrate

The title structure, C(13)H(18)O(6)·H(2)O, contains two independent 2-benzyl-myo-inositol and water mol-ecules. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are strongly hydrogen bonded into an infinite two dimensional network utilizing all OH protons.

Loss of murine Na+/myo-inositol cotransporter leads to brain myo-inositol depletion and central apnea.

myo-Inositol (Ins) and its polyphosphoinositide derivatives that are important in membrane signaling have long been held to play a special role in brain metabolism. As polyphosphoinositides turn over rapidly and are exceptionally abundant in nervous tissue, high Ins levels in the range of 2-15 mm that have been observed in brain may be necessary to maintain the rates of phosphoinositide synthes...

Dephosphorylation of myo - inositol 1 , 4 , 5 - trisphosphate and myo - inositol 1 , 3 , 4 - trisphosphate Stephen

We have augmented our previous studies [Storey, Shears, Kirk & Michell (1984) Nature (London) 312, 374-376] on the subcellular location and properties ofIns(l ,4,5)P3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) phosphatases in rat liver and human erythrocytes. We also investigate Ins(1,3,4)P3 (inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate) metabolism by rat liver. Membrane-bound and cytosolic Ins(1,4,5)P3 phosphatases both ...
